  1. sunflower63

    It has definately been an adjustment using the SONY mirrorless camera with this zoom lens but when I get a good shot…. simply amazing. Crystal clear, captures both still and action shots superbly.

  2. Christopher

    This lens takes great photos. It’s got a lot packed into it. A great option for Sony full frame bodies.

  3. Shekinah

    Very happy with lens performance. Highly recommend.

  4. Ahamidpatel

    Perfect match lens with current alpha sony ca.era lineup. I always recommond to buy from best buy for their history of genune worry free items for customer.

  5. cowboy

    Sticker price on the box is lower than online purchase price. Best Buy does not honor its own price match. Return the product.

  6. Swompy

    Amazing lens .. love using to take sports and other photos.. heavy but high quality.

  7. Ryan

    Good quality and smaller and lighter compared to the Sony 100-400 mm lens. Great for travel.

  8. Felix

    I recommend this lens for take pictures of animals great quality.

  9. Jdb7

    Bought this before a trip to Alaska and it was amazing to use! Got great quality shots of otters, moose, and the landscape. Even took decent pictures of the northern lights.

  10. Jerryhirtdesign

    Amazing! Photos are beautiful! Sony makes excellent photo equipment! Looking forward to many gorgeous sunsets and sunrises.

  11. Kisivuli

    Best lens Sony – FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS Telephoto Lens for Alpha E-mount Cameras – Black

  12. Raylynn

    Got this lens about a year and a half ago. It has become my go-to lens for wildlife that isn’t heavy. I even take it to disney’s animal kingdom and get great shots.

  13. GrandmaV1

    I love the range of distance with this lens. It gets me close enough to the animals, birds and people I’m taking photos of, plus the apperature can be adjusted to the right amounts of blur or clarity i need.

  14. Atanu

    Awesome mirrorless full frame lens and it take nice pictures

  15. Instructor17

    The Sony FE 70-300 mm lens is a great all around lens for relatively near and far distances. Although not a true macro or longer telephoto lens, it captures great images in a variety of situations. For example, I change lenses a lot less when photographing insects and birds. Additionally, it provides the space between the camera and the more skittish subjects (nature moves – a lot).
    There are good online reviews which provide great info and spec details to help you decide if the Sony FE 70-300 mm lens meets your needs.
    I did hesitate at spending over $1,000 for a lens, but I find this lens worth the cost.

  16. Stewart

    wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to go with a 4.5/5.6 lens but this lens is worth the price!!

  17. Eatlumpia

    I use this lens to take shots of my granddaughter. I like that I’m able to be far away and take close ups of her. Excellent lens great sharp pictures.

  18. Mikey

    Great 70-300 zoom lens, my first with Sony coming over from Canon. As you would expect with this focal length range and glass quality, the lens isn’t light, and I’d like the zoom operation to be a little smoother, but really no complaints.

  19. SonyA9

    Love this lens, was interested in purchasing a larger lens, but purchased this one and am glad I did!

  20. Photos

    Love the lens, it’s focas speed is fast and smooth. Seems to work well in semi-low light. Lens is light weight and voom works smothly. There is a locking feature that will keep the lens from zooming out when walking or hiking.

  21. jeff

    Lens works great with the Sony camera. You can go close or far with the lens

  22. Owee

    My favorite lens so far. The zoom is great but it’s a little heavy. I can’t hold the camera around my neck for more then 2 mins

  23. VanT

    Nice to have this lens in your kit if you like to capture nice moments.

  24. Eggman

    A bit bulky and somewhat “heavy” but not deal breaker. Manual zoom is a little still sometimes (?)

  25. Tyler

    This is the most expensive lens I’ve ever bought and it seems to be worth it

  26. Mitchell

    I just bought this lens today and it was a little late when I got home to try this out but was very pleased with the lens. I don’t think it’s heavy for the range at all. I do recommend.

  27. lillzschillz

    This is currently my favorite lens. I have been able to capture such crisp photos of animals, landscapes, and more. I could not be happier. The only downside is that it is on the heavier/clunkier side, so be careful when setting it up on a tripod.

  28. Carlisle1

    Range is great for the size of this lens. works great

  29. Redd

    Sharp photos!
    Great for wildlife photography!
    I’m glad I purchased!

  30. rcCola

    I ended up returning this lens after a few days. Its weight, paired with the weight of the camera body made it a hassle to use. There’s no tripod/monopod mount on it to mitigate the weight. I ultimately didn’t think it was worth it for my photography.

  31. Japhia

    Some trouble with focusing. Not easy to do manually at all and sometimes very frustrating with auto-focus.

    Otherwise, wonderful lens. Creates wonderful pics in sync with the great sensors of the Sony camera.

  32. LoveThisUVfilter

    Great lens, good build quality. hefty and solid. good image quality.

  33. RSACo

    So far, unit has performed as expected. Simple to install and intuitive to operate.

  34. TorresFineArt

    Good Stable Lens, I haven’t had much opportunity to use it but I did buy it before an elopement and the images came out pretty clear!

  35. Johnbus

    I’ll start with I ultimately returned it. Got an amazing deal on a 2.8 so it was the smart thing to do.
    I had it a month and it was a very nice lens. A little soft past 250 but easily corrected in the computer with just a touch of sharpening.
    I suspect Best Buy’s shipping may had had something to do with it. Who ships a 1300 lens in a bubble mailer and then sends a backpack in a fully padded box… I will rail them for this every chance I get 🙂
    So maybe just wait a little longer and pick up in a store to keep one less round of tossing it in and out of trucks.
    .Weight isn’t too bad for what it is and the OSS when using one an IBIS body is unmatched. I miss having the 300mm but my other deal was too good to pass up.

  36. SHoops

    Perfect attachment for those medium to longer range shots on the Sony A7. excellent Lens. works perfect out of the box.

  37. Jerry

    Not that much but useable lens.for start up its best .

  38. hbp09

    Not as sharp as I would have expected for fast moving objectives like firefighter airplanes, but for ones works very good for everything else.

  39. Kpat

    Amazing lens overall. Used it for a graduation and wildlife photos

  40. TanvirD

    The lens was really like a new one. Never felt like I was using a used one. Packaging was also solid. Overall great experience.

  41. Fr2xedom

    Absolutely phenomenal wins especially for the cost. Really enjoy using it.

  42. BabySimba

    Imo its a great lens when it comes to focal length butbonly useful for still wildlife and landscapes very one dimentional so ultimately i returned this. For half the price i would own this lens

  43. AnnieN

    Amazing lens. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the lock button.

  44. Rxjohn87

    This lense is great for the range. Its clear and has great additions. Would buy again.

  45. JoeP

    My wife loves it. Now she can get better closeups of wildlife. I’m happy because it was on sale. Win-Win

  46. Edwin

    Amazing lens, I love it. It is very easy to use and takes fascinating photos

  47. Wildlife

    Im new to filming/photography of wildlife and this lens was very easy to use and fits very well in the hands

  48. gmckayca

    Wide range of focal length for use both indoors and outdoors when you don’t want to lug separate lenses around. Sharp and quick auto focus

  49. GangadharA

    Very good lens has good focal length with has auto focus

  50. NiloyG

    It’s a great lens with a good range of depth and aperture. It has already become my go-to lens for the Sont A7II. The images are sharp, the colors are vivid, all-in-all, a good purchase.
